Bordeaux Preview – Can Bordeaux make positive start?
Bordeaux won three of their last four matches of last season’s Ligue 1 campaign and the hosts will be keen to get themselves off to a winning start against newcomers, Clermont Foot, on Sunday afternoon.
Wins against Rennes, Lens and Reims saw Bordeaux finish last term in strong fashion and they finished in a mid-table position of 12th place and although the hosts had suffered four defeats on the trot beforehand, Bordeaux won back-to-back at home to finish on a high note.
Bordeaux have also beaten Clermont Foot in the previous two meetings against their visitors and they look set for further success here too.
Clermont Foot Preview – Can Clermont open account in historic fixture?
Clermont will make their bow in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday against Bordeaux in their first ever domestic top flight fixture and they’ll be hoping that they can make a positive start to this new season on the back of a promising pre-season.
The visitors won their last four warm-up matches on the trot which included notable wins against Montpellier, Saint-Etienne and Nantes while on the road, Clermont have won five of their last six away games in all competitions.
However, this looks a tough task for the new-boys at Bordeaux and it may take a little time for Clermont to adjust to the step up in quality.
